Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. In 1844 George French Angas spent six months in New Zealand. He landed at Wellington, paid visits to Porirua, Mana Island and a settlement in Tory Channel, then sailed to Auckland and made a six-week trek into the interior, travelling on foot and by canoe up the Waikato, across to Kawhia and thence to lake Taupo. Very few Europeans had had contact with such remote Maori settlements, and Angas's paintings and descriptions with its scrupulous noting of details - clothing, architecture and daily life resulted in this invaluable record for posterity. On his return to England he published a selection of his paintings as The New Zealanders Illustrated and a two volume narrative of his travels entitled Savage Life and Scenes in Australia and New Zealand. This two volume edition reproduces the best of the paintings included in a late 1960's limited facsimile edition called Portraits of the New Zealand Maori. The full colour plates show studies of Maori adults and children, their costume, villages, houses, ceremonies, recreations, martial exercises, weapons, canoes, tools, ornaments, carvings and funeral rites before extensive white settlement. The book is regarded as a comprehensive and accurate picture of traditional Maori life.
